Wow Us—We Can’t Wait

Think you have the cleverest Halloween getup? The most sinister? The most relentlessly adorable? Show us your stuff! (Four-legged trick-or-treaters too.) Take your pic in Downtown Knoxville, upload it or share it on social, and let us be the judge. We’ve got prizes for participants of all ages and pets of all sizes.

How to Enter Costume Photo Contest

👻 Get a shot of your look with downtown in the background—on the Gay Street Bridge, at the Tennessee Theatre marquee, in Market Square Grove with ghoulish ghosts, in front of your favorite Old City haunt, or anywhere that's recognizably downtown. A few suggested locations are marked on sidewalks through the city center, but feel free to get creative. The photo just needs to be taken in a spot that's recognizably downtown.

👻 Share on Facebook or Instagram with #knoxhalloween (accounts must be public to view) or upload through the photo portal below. Must be shared or uploaded no later than midnight on October 31.

👻 Winners will be announced on Downtown Knoxville's Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts no later than Wednesday, November 6...so be sure to follow us.
